Edenshaw dances his final blessing to the
Legacy Pole as the time of raising nears;
hundreds of onlookers marvel as the pole nears
its final vertical position; assistant carver
Gwaai Edenshaw adds the final touches; the red
serge of the RCMP and B.C.'s Natural Resource
Conservation Officers represent federal and
provincial support for the Gwaii Haanas
Agreement; nine-year-old Haana Edenshaw
dusts the Legacy Pole with snowy eagle down.
